A Very Merry 1st Christmas!
"And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not;
'Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people,
Unto you is born this day
a Saviour which is Christ the Lord.'
Luke 2:11
How did Christmas 2010 come and go so quickly!? Thank goodness I was super organized this year and had everything ready for Hannah's 1st Christmas! It seemed as though we were just preparing and celebrating Thanksgiving dinner and the next minute it was Christmas Eve! Hannah and I were SO thrilled to have Mike home with us all day and have him help make our traditional sugar cookies. The three of us hung out in the kitchen for most of the day, baking and preparing our Christmas Eve dinner of chicken tortilla soup (made by me) and tamales (imported from Texas of course!).
Hannah was the best dressed and most well behaved baby at Christmas Eve mass! (Carla, Daniel, Mike and I were all in agreement of that!)Afterwards, we came home to eat and open up our Christmas PJ's - one of my favorite traditions!
After everyone went to sleep, I, Santa's Elf, got everything ready for the next morning:-)
Christmas morning we awoke to the best gift of all...A WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!
Wake up Hannah! It is your very first Christmas and it SNOWED!!!
Our little family had such a great 1st Christmas together! The snow, watching Hannah play, the snow, the presents, playing with Hannah, did I mention snow?! What a blessed Christmas!

7 Months Old!
This photo shoot was particularly entertaining due to the fact that Hannah tore up her sign in a matter of minutes! It is amazing how strong she is for such a little baby girl!
Hannah is growing like a weed! She definately enjoys eating solid food and it has been so entertaining to watch her "try" each new fruit/vegetable! She has liked everything including pears, apples, bananas, peaches, sweet potatoes, prunes, carrots, and squash with the exception of peas...but we'll give them another try! She loves her high chair, drinks well from a straw, and so far has very good table manners!
Likes:
Eating; pears are her favorite!
Playtime!
Reading books: Peek-a-Who, Very Hungry Caterpillar, Moo Baa La La La
(some of her favs!)
Bathtime
Her CARSEAT!!! Hooray!
Music/singing/dancing - makes her smile and laugh!
Dislikes:
Teething (Mommy doesn't like this one either!)
Gas/constipation
Toppling over when reaching for a toy
When she can't see mommy!
Hannah is so much fun these days - I love to spend every minute with her! What a happy little girl she is!

Mommy's Little Helper!
Hannah is so curious and wants to know about everything going on - especially what I am doing in the kitchen! One afternoon she just had to be a part of the action and "helped" Carla and I begin our holiday baking and open packages in the kitchen! 
Cannot hardly wait until Hannah can bake with me! I have such good memories baking with my mom and sister not only during the holidays but throughout the year as well! She was so happy to be in the kitchen with us and eat those cookies!
